i picked up a really clean very nice virago about a week ago and it went from stock to shock in a few days...few restless nights thinking oh no what have i done the starter dident even work as with all of the virago's them years...i made a shim plate for the starter and voila it worked perfect....then next the black dented tank had to go so i bumped all the dents out and repainted it performance red with a regular Cristal clear coat..its starting to look nice and sporty now ...i need to get new exaust i dont like the stock stuff...engine only showed 6k miles and it def look like it ..cleanest one Ive seen of that year "when were talking about a project bike" all chrome was perfect very few flaws.just waiting on some new handle bars,a starter relay,and left side crank cover gasket..and im covering the seat with real leather cant decide black or brown....but overall really turned out nice and the good thing is i can adjust the ride height anytime i want with the air ride suspension,glides down the road like a dream...prolly one of the worst project bikes that became more than likely the 2nd to best slot just behind the Suzuki 425 bobber..these bikes have some nasty little gremlins hiding in them but good thing i came up with the right recipe for the gremicide killed all but one the slow oil leak in the gasket but easy fix..
